In its report on the US Virgin Islands tsunami preparedness project, the Caribbean Net News states that 'the three at risk coastal communities in the Virgin Islands will be proposed to the National Weather Service for recognition as a “Tsunami Ready” ready area, which will mean completion of inundation modelling and mapping, identification and publicizing of evacuation routes, installation of signage and a program of staff training and public education about tsunami risk and response in the selected areas.'
